"It's okay." Shen Ce's voice was slightly hoarse, and he gritted his teeth secretly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Chen Yan nodded indifferently.
The two talked as they walked.
Shen Ce said, "Your Highness, I have contacted a trusted old official in District 9. They will escort us into District 9. Your Highness, when would you like to depart for District 9?"
Chen Yan said: "Wait a little longer, then we will go with Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Shen Ce felt a little depressed. He frowned and said, "Your Highness trusts that person so much?"
"Um."
Shen Ce pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you know Black Water?"
"I've heard a little about it." Chen Yan nodded.
Shen Ce said, “During this period, there has also been black water in District 9, so, Your Highness, we must proceed with caution.”
Chen Yan turned her head to look at him, "Besides District 9, where else can you find black water?"
Shen Ce was stunned for a moment, then answered truthfully: "District 2, District 7, District 13."
Chen Yan asked, "Have you seen Black Water in District 13?"
"I have seen it." Shen Ce nodded. He had been to the place where the black water was flooded with Zai Yushou and that man. It was indeed extremely polluted. No matter whether it was people or things, they all lost their reason and became the property of the black water.
The power of black water is also extremely strong.
No ordinary practitioner can match it.
Chen Yan asked, "What do you think of Heishui?"
Shen Ce was silent for a moment, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he said with disgust, "If the black water floods the entire Dark Realm, the Dark Realm will be devastated and turned into purgatory."
Chen Yan lowered her eyes upon hearing this.
She learned from Feng Xingyao that most of these black waters were not independent individuals and could only become individuals when they developed intelligence, which meant that their strength was even more terrifying.
Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Shen Ce mentioned, "Your Highness, I drew a portrait of that fake princess. Would you like to see it?"
Hearing this, Chen Yan looked at him and nodded.
Shen Ce immediately took out the portrait from the storage space, then slowly opened it and showed it to Shen Yan.
When Chen Yan saw the portrait for the first time, his expression suddenly changed.
She reached out and picked up the portrait, looking at it carefully for a few seconds.
She looked up and stared at Shen Ce, "Are you sure this is the person impersonating me?"
"Yes." Shen Ce noticed the change in his prince's mood and was slightly surprised. He secretly guessed that his prince should know the woman in the portrait.
He asked, "Your Highness, do you know the woman in the portrait?"
Chen Yan's expression changed. She didn't answer directly, but asked, "Are you sure she has been impersonating me for more than 30 years? And her bone age has reached more than 800 years?"
Shen Ce was slightly stunned, then nodded in response: "Yes, Your Highness. I dare not lie."
Chen Yan's gaze moved to the woman in the portrait, and her emotions fluctuated drastically, a rare occurrence. This face looked exactly like Shen Xue's.
Shen Xue was the adopted daughter of the Shen family of Nanxiao Kingdom.
Is this person Shen Xue?
Or maybe, just someone who looks similar to Shen Xue?
She remembered that she had chopped off Shen Xue's head with a sword, and logically speaking, she should not have survived. Moreover, it had only been two years since Shen Xue's death.
but……
She had a vague intuition that the woman in the portrait might be Shen Xue.
Chen Yan's expression was slightly cold, "Has she ever left the Dark Realm?"
"No." Shen Ce thought about it and shook his head.
He asked doubtfully, "Your Highness has seen her?"
Chen Yan's eyes flashed with coldness, "She looks very much like an old friend of mine, but I have already chopped off the head of that old friend."
When Shen Ce heard this, his brows furrowed, and he realized that something was wrong.
He thought for a few seconds, "Your Highness, if you meet this fake princess, how will you deal with her?"
"What do you think I should do with her?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.
Shen Ce pursed his lips and said, “First, throw her into jail, then interrogate her and find out why she impersonated you, and then punish her.”
Chen Yan rolled up the portrait and handed it to him, saying indifferently, "Aren't you too kind? You should be beheaded for impersonating me."
Shen Ce was stunned.
Chen Yan said coldly: "According to the laws of the Tianzhou Dynasty, shouldn't it be like this?"
Shen Ce was shocked when he heard this, but the image of the fake princess appeared in his mind. In fact, he had been in contact with her for more than 30 years. Although they did not have a deep relationship, they had established some feelings.
After all, before the real Princess Chen Ke appeared, he always regarded that woman as the real princess, so he placed too many high hopes on her.
Suddenly hearing Chen Yan's decisive and ruthless treatment, Chen Ce felt a little uncomfortable.
He said, "Your Highness, she has done nothing to harm us..."
Chen Yan glanced at him with cold eyes, "So, you are pleading for her?"
Shen Ce suddenly fell silent.
Chen Yan asked: "Do you like her?"
"No." Shen Ce quickly denied, then he knelt down towards Shen Yan, and placed his right hand on his chest to show his respect and piety: "My body and soul belong only to Your Highness."
Chen Yan said calmly, "You can marry someone else, but it can't be her. She took advantage of my identity and has ulterior motives. I won't tolerate any sand in my eyes."
When Shen Ce heard this, the discomfort in his heart disappeared, and was replaced by guilt.
He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will always be loyal to the Tianzhou Dynasty and to Your Highness."
"I hope so." Chen Yan said lightly.
…
For several days, Feng Xingyao went out to deal with the Heishui incident and did not come back.
